Triple Digits

Today's a big day.  I'd like to say that seeing a certain number on the scale doesn't matter because it's health that matters.  Health does matter, it is the most important thing.  I usually don't get excited when I change weight "decades".  I didn't get that excited when I entered "one-derland".  (Note: anyone who has been trying for a very long time to lose weight will likely know how important these milestones are in weight loss.)

I have been struggling with 2 pounds for about three weeks now (this was a mental struggle, not a physical one).  Finally, this past week, I got really sick of counting calories and not losing so I decided to just focus on healthy eating and proper serving sizes.  5 servings of veggies.  3 servings of fruit.  2 proteins.  2 milks.  2 whole grains.  Vitamins.  Every day.  And, what happened?

The last couple of pounds fell off and I've officially lost 100.2 lbs!

I was feeling tired and stressed and really didn't want to even try my last "long" (13+ mile) training walk today (t-14 days until half marathon!).  Let's just say that this has added a little motivation.  After breakfast.  And some coffee. 

And a little celebration dance.
